• We know we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it. 
• There is still no cure for the common birthday.
• A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun.  Enjoy the trip.

• Youth is a wonderful thing.  What a crime to waste it on children. 
• In childhood, we yearn to be grown-ups.  In old age, we yearn to be kids.  It just seems that all would be wonderful if we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological order. 
• The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.

• You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. 
• They say that age is all in your mind.  The trick is keeping it from creeping down into your body.
• We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land; the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march.
• Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
• Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed. 
• Middle age is having a choice between two temptations and choosing the one that'll get you home earlier.
• Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act. 
• Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
• First you forget names; then you forget faces; then you forget to zip up your fly; and then you forget to unzip your fly.
• Youth is a disease from which we all recover.
• Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life. 
• I'm sixty years of age.  That's 16 Celsius.
• You're not 40, you're eighteen with 22 years experience.

• The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
• May you live to be a hundred years, With one extra year to repent.
• Birthdays are good for you.  Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.
